A NSW Central Coast woman is accused of pocketing up to $20,000 she collected in the name of a charity.

Police believe the 42-year-old fundraised between $15,000 to $20,000 for a charity over the past three years but failed to pass on any of the cash.

A search of her home in Bateau Bay in July allegedly turned up fraudulent raffle tickets and other charity-related items.

The woman was arrested last Friday and charged with a string of fraud and false document offences.

She has been granted conditional bail to face Wyong Local Court on November 30.

Police say further arrests are expected.
